And today, according the calendar, we should make our favorite hot beverage! This idea was brought to us by Laura B.! Why not merge two holidays in one? Let us toast to all of our awesome friends by raising a cup of our favorite hot beverage!

PS: Oh and what is your favorite hot beverage? I do love a good cup of hot chocolate with a candy cane stuck in there and some whipped cream. But lately I’ve been trying different flavors and types of tea. My favorite so far is Twining’s of London brand Pure Peppermint herbal tea and Lemon Ginger tea. That lemon ginger has a kick to it.

Cheers Tara! My favourite hot drink… hmmm… tea (preferably Earl Grey) first thing in the morning, and a Grande Misto in Starbucks at lunchtime. I got given some candy canes for Christmas, so I think I’ll give your hot chocolate/candy cane combo a whirl (particularly as it’s *so* cold over here at the moment!).

I do love tea–hot or cold. But for a special treat, esp on long drives or very chilly mornings, I love gas station cappuccinos, the ones that cost a buck! Irish Cream or French Vanilla, both are very good!
